Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a bread fermentation device for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Bread is a fermented baked food made primarily from wheat flour, supplemented with yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, salt, and other ingredients. Water is added to form a dough, which is then divided, shaped, proofed, baked, and cooled. Bread is not only diverse in taste and rich in nutrients, but also has a long history and profound cultural significance. During the bread-making process, the kneaded dough needs to be placed in a proofing box to ferment. Fermented bread is fluffy and has a better texture.
[0003] Existing bread fermentation equipment requires varying fermentation times for different types of bread due to differences in ingredients, recipes, and production processes. This necessitates operators removing fermented bread at specific time points to ensure optimal taste, texture, and flavor. However, when bread with shorter fermentation times needs to be removed earlier, operators must manually open the fermentation chamber door. Once the door is opened, the constant temperature and humidity environment inside the fermentation chamber is immediately disrupted, allowing outside air to rush in and altering the temperature and humidity conditions. This can lead to abnormal yeast activity, ultimately affecting the final fermentation effect and quality of the bread. Therefore, a new bread fermentation device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Purpose of the utility model
[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a bread fermentation device for food processing. When it is necessary to remove a piece of bread that has completed fermentation, the fermentation chamber to which the bread needs to be removed can be separated to make it a relatively sealed space. Only the door of the corresponding fermentation chamber needs to be opened to remove the fermented bread placed on the component, thus avoiding the impact on the main environment of the fermentation chamber and ensuring that the yeast remains in a good active state throughout the fermentation process, thereby improving the quality and taste of the bread.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] This utility model provides a bread fermentation device for food processing, including a fermentation box body. The fermentation box body has multiple equally spaced partitions inside, which divide the interior of the fermentation box body into multiple fermentation chambers. Each fermentation chamber has a hinged door at its opening. Each fermentation chamber has a side plate on its inner wall on both sides. The top of each side plate is detachably connected to a mounting component. Each partition has a vertically penetrating mounting hole and a mounting groove inside. The mounting hole communicates with the mounting groove. A hinged plate is slidably connected inside the mounting groove. The bottom of each partition has a sliding component, and the connecting end of the sliding component is connected to the hinged plate through a connecting frame.
[0008] Preferably, the placement component includes a limiting slider and a bread placement net. The limiting slider is located on the rear side of the bottom of the bread placement net, the bread placement net is placed on the upper end of the two side plates, the limiting slider is located on the rear side of the two side plates, and the side of the limiting slider has a right-angled triangular structure.
[0009] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail and an electric slider. The slide rail is disposed at the bottom of the partition, and the electric slider is slidably connected to the slide groove of the slide rail. The bottom of the electric slider is connected to the connecting frame.
[0010] Preferably, the size of the hinge plate is larger than the size of the mounting hole.
[0011] Preferably, an observation glass extends through the center of the door, and a handle is provided on the side of the door away from the main body of the fermentation tank and on the side of the observation glass.
[0012] Preferably, a placement box is provided on the side wall of the fermentation tank body, the opening of the placement box faces upward, and multiple support feet are distributed at intervals at the bottom of the fermentation tank body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] This bread fermentation equipment for food processing, when it is necessary to remove a loaf of bread that has completed fermentation, first controls the sliding component, then drives the opening and closing plate to slide inside the mounting slot, so that the opening and closing plate is located inside the mounting hole, thereby separating the fermentation chamber from which the bread needs to be removed, making it a relatively sealed space. Only the door of the corresponding fermentation chamber needs to be opened to remove the bread that has been fermented on the component, avoiding the main body of the fermentation chamber from affecting the internal environment, ensuring that the yeast remains in a good active state throughout the fermentation process, and improving the quality and taste of the bread.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a bread fermentation device for food processing, including a fermentation box body 2. The fermentation box body 2 has multiple equally spaced partitions 9 inside, which divide the interior of the fermentation box body 2 into multiple fermentation chambers. Each fermentation chamber has a door 1 hinged to its opening. Side plates 11 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the fermentation chamber. The top of the side plates 11 can be detachably connected to a mounting component. The partitions 9 have vertically penetrating mounting holes and mounting grooves 14 inside. The mounting holes are connected to the mounting grooves 14. A hinged plate 8 is slidably connected to the interior of the mounting grooves 14. A sliding component is provided at the bottom of the partitions 9. The connecting end of the sliding component is connected to the hinged plate 8 through a connecting frame 12. The size of the hinged plate 8 is larger than the size of the mounting holes.
[0025] In this invention, when in use, the box door 1 is opened, and the bread to be fermented is placed on the placement components of different fermentation chambers. Then the box door 1 is closed, which allows the fermentation box body 2 to start fermenting the pastries inside. After fermentation, the sliding component is controlled first, and then the opening and closing plate 8 is moved to slide inside the mounting groove 14, so that the opening and closing plate 8 is located inside the mounting hole. This separates the fermentation chambers from which the bread needs to be taken out, making them a relatively sealed space. Then the corresponding box door 1 is opened, and the fermented bread placed on the placement component can be taken out.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, the placement assembly includes a limiting slider 10 and a bread placement net 7. The limiting slider 10 is located on the rear side of the bottom of the bread placement net 7, the bread placement net 7 is placed on the upper end of the two side plates 11, the limiting slider 10 is located on the rear side of the two side plates 11, and the side of the limiting slider 10 is a right-angled triangular structure.
[0027] It should be noted that when placing bread for fermentation, it should be placed on the bread placement net 7, and the limiting slider 10 should be engaged with the rear side of the side plates 11 on both sides to limit the bread placement net 7. When removing the bread placement net 7 from the side plates 11, move the bread placement net 7 upwards, then release the limiting slider 10 from the rear side of the side plates 11, and then the bread placement net 7 can be removed. When installing the bread placement net 7, first bring the limiting slider 10 at the bottom of the bread placement net 7 into contact with the top of the side plates 11 on both sides, and then push the bread placement net 7 into the fermentation box body 2. After pushing it a certain distance, the limiting slider 10 at the bottom of the bread placement net 7 will be positioned at the rear side of the side plates 11 on both sides to limit it, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the bread placement net 7.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail 13 and an electric slider 15. The slide rail 13 is located at the bottom of the partition 9, and the electric slider 15 is slidably connected in the slide groove of the slide rail 13. The bottom of the electric slider 15 is connected to the connecting frame 12.
[0029] It should be noted that when the electric slider 15 is activated, it moves within the groove of the slide rail 13. When the electric slider 15 moves, it can drive the connecting frame 12 to move. When the connecting frame 12 moves, it can drive the opening and closing plate 8 to move within the mounting groove 14.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, an observation glass 5 extends through the center of the door 1, and a handle 3 is provided on the side of the door 1 away from the fermentation tank body 2 and on the side of the observation glass 5.
[0031] It should be noted that the bread fermenting inside the fermentation chamber can be observed from the outside through the observation glass 5, making it convenient to observe the fermentation status of the bread without opening the observation glass 5, thus reducing the number of times the door needs to be opened.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, a placement box 4 is provided on the side wall of the fermentation tank body 2, with the opening of the placement box 4 facing upward, and multiple support feet 6 are distributed at intervals at the bottom of the fermentation tank body 2.
[0033] It should be noted that tools can be placed in the placement box 4; and the multiple support feet 6 can ensure the stability of the fermentation box body 2 when it is placed.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
